You are right about The Smiths song. This is a bit of my neglect, because I added this suggestion a long time ago and forgot about it later. Yes it's an old CDLC that needs improvement, so today I improved the old version by adding Bass path according to the official tabs.

I tested it and it's a bit easier, but I think it's 8 and still a masterclass.

@ nlbsmglsk or @ Rodman Please update the topic post with this version!

I'll add guitar paths and upload a new CDLC on Ignition, but it needs a little more time.

Wow man, thanks! I mean the old version was playable imo, I wouldn't include it otherwise, but this is really great. I updated the post.

Impellitteri master shredder! Like it

avastreg · November 1, 2022

uh this is serious strumming

avastreg · November 1, 2022

I've studied a bit the strumming part with RR, the capo A / capo F / Capo G passage remains speedy and I'm missing it a bit, but I've passed 95!

Ah, since capo was not working for me (can't get past the capo tuner, don't know if having a floyd messes up), so I've used the usual drop pedal to tune 4 steps up.

It works well, but I don't know if this breaks championship rules; maybe it helps people with recognition issues because of the capo.

I feel the need to share this even though it makes me look really stupid. Maybe it should be in another forum. Anyway, last Saturday I was feeling really good because I thought I might make 100% on a level 4 song as I had finished on 99.77% the day before. BIG problem, cant tune to E standard, tuner sticks at 999 on E string. I tried just bypassing the tuner but note recognition went to hell. It is now Tuesday and I have tried so many things without success. On some occasions E tunes ok and I get stuck on A, once I got A tuned and got stuck on D. Recalibrated so many times, even switched back to THAT cable from my Focusrite. There are several forum 'solutions' I tried unsuccessfully. Finally , lightning struck today and I read the screen message TAB to switch to Regular Bass. So I did. Problem solved, I must have accidentally hit TAB and switched to Emulated Bass. Who knew. Well now you do too. Thanks for listening.

I've already heard it a long time ago but I didn't really associate the song with them

ah always aMUSEd

mid week entries...

some strumming here... typical recognition issues... it sucks...

cool to play...

the 3rd part is like a long fast solo for me... not sure if will be able to get any better there...

Mikson · November 2, 2022

Ok, I made a full CDLC of Bigmouth Strikes Again with lyrics! We have better notes quality overall, but for the guitar this version seems more difficult than the old version. So @ nlbsmglsk please add this as an alternate version and of course scores from the old one will still be counted.

Here is the link to the new version on Ignition: https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/72744

You have no idea how happy this makes me. Bigmouth is my favorite Smiths song and it pained me to play an old/unrefined version on bass. I look forward to trying your version!

jellisjenius · November 2, 2022

Cool, unique bassline, and even better with the solo (thanks @ cacahuate51 !). Definitely not beginner level IMO, it's repetitive but very challenging to keep a streak going on the main riff:

I love what I've heard and played from the new Muse album. This is no exception:

Second run was better:

And I'll post my Bigmouth score with a high probability that I'll do better with the new version:

avastreg · November 2, 2022

improved mc rhythm

Mikson · November 2, 2022

Scores from testing new CDLC.

Lead score is worse than from old CDLC so don't count it.

Mikson · November 2, 2022

No chance, this looks like a GoG to me, the whole song is one solo.

Hard but playable.

I'm struggling to play the muse song in complete darkness haha, definitely feels more difficult than the Smiths one. But also the muse chart is a little bit weird especially the transition from 8 to 5 and then a pull-off to 3, most definitely sure the 8 on E is played by the bassist as a 3 on A to be consistent with the hand positions for the pull-off from 5 to 3 on E shortly after.
Also there's a part in the song that goes from a slide up to 7 or 8 and then a quick jump to 3 on A and then back to the 14, 12, 10 on D riff. Don't know if its played like this but itd be a hell of a lot easier as an 8 on E that time around. Idk if that makes sense but anyway... its awkward to play that I think can be fixed by the charter. Might keep going with the Smiths one but not the Muse one.
